Meade County Globe: Mr.. Cutler
some time ago contested a claim belong
ing to s. Samples In the northwest part
of the county. Mr.. Samples had taken
the claim which was a presumption in
good faith, although he had previously
re-empted Usage land. When Cutler
found this out he at once ordered Mr.
Samples to quit the claim and to take
nothing of of it. At the time Mr.. Sam
pies had over ST. 600 werth Of improve
ments on the same, none Of which Cut
Ter would permit him to remove, and
also refused to give him any compensa-
ton therefor. He did, so Mr.. Samples
told us, agree to pay him certain
amount provided he (Cutler) was ever
able. We are also told that Cutler went
on Samples claim and hauled hay away
and sold it-he absolutely Calming
everything. Some of Mr.. Samples
neighbOrs hearing of all these outrages
and Of Cutters determination to take
everything, were very indignant over
the matter. The first Oh the week some
one went to the place and set fire to the
house, barn and hay-everyth that
fire would burn was destroyed.

Boston, small mining town on the Mon
Ongahela river, was the scene of a shooting
ARRAY in which two persons were wounded,
one of them, it is thought, receiving fatal
injuries The victim was Mrs. John Ingram,
and the assaiIant her husband. The shoot
ing took place in the railroad station at
Boston, and was the outcome Of a suit for
non-support. Mrs. Ingram was on her way
TO Pitbsburg, when her husband appeared and
without warning, began shooting at her.
There we're several persons in the station at
the time, but before he could be prevented
he shot her twice, one ball taking effect in
the forehead and the other in her right arm.
The bystanders then interfered and In the
struggle which ensued the enraged man
shot a man named FIOeming in the wrist.
He was finally OverpOWereds when it vas
found that he had two more reVOlvers loaded
and ready for use on his person. Mrs. In
gam was removed to her homo, where she
is lying in a critical condition. The indig-
nation against Ingram was 80 intense that
the officers were compelled to hastily remove
him to this city and place him in jail.

4 MERITED COMPLIMENT TO SUPER
INTENDENT MCPHERSON.

The Newton Republican of the Goth
gives brief history OF Mr.. Fl. r. Nick
erson, superintendent of the Central di-
vision of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe railroad, who has his headquarters at
Newton. His rapid promotions and his
success as Superintendent is a high
compliment to his ability. The Republi-
can SAYS: In Superintendent Nickerson
the company have a thoroughly practical
and self-made man. He is an Illinoisan.
In 1872 he secured employment with the
Santa Fe company as freight handler on
the transfer platform at Atchlsen. He
devoted his evenings to learning
biography, which he finally mastered.
When but IS years of age he was APP
pointed station agent at Cummings. on
the Atcison branch. Shortly afterward
he was placed in charge OF the station at
NOrtOnyille, and then transferred TO
Great Bend. After several months at
the latter place he was given charge OF
construction from Grenada TO Pueblo,
and subsequently appointed material
agent and superintendent OF construc-
ton, with headquarters at Grenada.
After the completion of the road TO West
Las Animas, Mr. Nickerson entered the
train service. After serving the
required time as brakeman and then
conductor, and being very apt. he
was made dispatcher at Newton IN 1917,
which was shortly followed by a promo
ton to trainmaster In 1873 be was
made master of transportation for the
main line from Newton to Albuquerque
and branches. with headquarters at New
ton When the middle division was Gre
ated he was transferred to NickerSon, in
1880, first as trainmaster, and then to
division superintendent, with supervision
over 900 miles His territory has been
increased until it now covers l ,141 miles.
He is now in his oath year, and
is the youngest railroad manager
in the United States. He is a
nephew of Thomas NickerSon,
one of the principal stockholders In the
Santa Fe. But this relationship had
nothing to do with his steady and rapid
promotions. Dir. Nickerson determined
to study railroading, and in order TO be-
come proficient in the business he com
menced at the bottom round, and by
hard work, thorough study and careful
attention to business. he has become one

CANADIAN-AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP

The action Of the Ca1adian-Americar
League in Chicago, looking to the natural
ization OF all Canadian residents i'll the
United States Is conmendable. The pre-
disposition Of that class of immigrants
to the country has been uniformly TO
maintain allegiance to the Dominion
government, probably because it is so
convenient for them TO communicate
with their former homes But by the
action mentioned they indicate a purpose
TO assume the duties and responsibilities
Of citizenship.
The league in Chicago declares that it
is its purpose ito urge, as a vital princi-
pie, upon ali Canadians settled in this
country a realization of the fact that
their political self -effacement is wrong
not only TO themselves and the land Of
their birth, but still more to the land Of
their adoption; to induce and assist
them when necessary to naturalize
here and to disseminate such infor-
IldIlOll do Will eIlctDle ito ulCuIDcIo "
comprehend clearly the duties and obi,
cations of good citizenship. And it con-
tidently calls upon all who do acquire
the right Of citizenship to regard it as a
sacred trust to be exercised on every
possible occasion for the good of their
country"
In this commendable resolve they de-
serve the encouragement of all good
citizens. The Canadian more readily
assimilates to our methods and common
purposes than any other foreigner, and
On that account is a more desirable accre-
ton to our citizenship. The fact is. res
idents Of no foreign country are desir-
able as citizens of ours unless they can
and will thus align themselves with US
and assume an equal share of the bur-
dens while they enjoy the full benefits of
our institutions and government. This
is lnmistakably the sense OF the people
Of the United States, and henceforth will
find more emphatic expression in legisla-
ton on the subject than it has hereto
fore.

WHEN ARE GRIMES MOST COM
MITTEDP

Pail Mall Gazette
A statistical publication recently issued
by the German government deals with
the time of year at which crimes are
committed The year taken is 1888. and
of the 800, 200 crimes Of all kinds COM
mitted then it is possible to fix the month
of their occurrence in 317 ,4O4 cases.
Dividing the year into four seasons
winter comprising December, January
and February; spring comprising March,
April and May; summer, June, july
and August: and autumn, September,
October and November-it is found that
S0,013 crimes fall to winter, 1879
to spring. 81 1862, to summer, and 02.2l0
to autumn. Thus spring is the most IA
vorable season for public morality, and
autumn the most untavOrable. AS to
the character of the crimes committed,
it is found that In 1888 the offences
against state, religion and public order
numbered So daily in winter, % IN spring,
and 1913 in simmer, and 1906 IN autumn.
Here summer far exceeded winter, as 1t
did also in crimes with which violence
and threats against officials, &c, We're
connected. the number for winter being
80 daily, and for summer 107 OF
crimes against the person, 81 fell to Win
ter daily, 80 to spring, 1902 to
summer, and 10S to autumn; of
the crimes against morality 60
fell to winter and 146 to summer: OF Of
fences taking the character of SANDER
90 fell to winter and 119 to summer, and
of assaults 15S fell to winter and 243 to
summer. 1t would therefore appear that
temperature has a great deal to do with
inclination to crime. The daily number
Of petty robberies was 81 in summer and
1872 in winter: of serious robberies, 90 in
summer and 115 in winter. while the
cases OF receiving stolen goods numbered
II daily in summer and 1872 in winter.
The relation borne by offences against
property was as follows: Summer, 1O1
daily: autumn, 103: winter, 81.

SUPERSTIrOUS PEOPLE IN THE

the occasion Of an immense amount Of
wild talk. At any other time Venus at
tempting 10 rival the sun in her dazzling
beauty would have attracted but little
attention But because it happened at a
time when the public mind was absorbed
in the exciting events going on at Chi
cago people gathered on the streets

the apparent interest that the shepherds
of the plain. on a memorable occasion,
talked among themselves about the

Anent the recent elections in the vari-
Gus states the question Of voting and the
various methods employed in holding
elections have been discussed hy the press
of the country. The Australian system
OF voting seems TO he more favorabIy
considered than any other in many Of
the large cities of the country. The plan is
somewhat similar 10 that provided in our
state law as amended by the last legisla-
ture. The chief feature Of this election
plan is that when the voter. who has
been duly registered by a government
electoral canvasser who called az the res
ldence of the voter, goes TO the polls. he
enters room, separate from the place
Of voting. where he is handed a ticket
having the stamp of the government
upon it and the name of all candidates
standing for the different offices. He
receives the ticket and marks off all the
names except the names of the candi-
dates for whom he wishes to vote He
then proceeds TO deposit this ballot. In
this way parties are not at any expense
IN printing tickets, the government fur
nlshe5 them. the service Of the ticket
feddlers at the polls are not needed. and
by this system fraud and intimidation
are prevented.

There is something unique but perhaps

scheme to buy that part of Canada en-

of settling the fisheries trouble. The
purchase for the United States would be
III many respects advantageous aside

New Brunswick and Nova Scotia are rich
in timber and mineral resources aside
from their fisheries. The great difficulty
presented is to get the consent Of these
provinces and if this can be secured the
price which Uncle Sam might be called

be gained. 1t Is, however. an important
matter for the consideration of our states.

good, and it is quite reasonable to suppose
that since coal has been found in that
